Practical workplace support for teams under pressure

Pressure does not always start at work - but work is often where it begins to show.

You may already be noticing the impact on focus, workload, communication or people struggling to switch off. Or you may want to support staff before pressure becomes harder to carry.

Not comedy. Not performance. Not therapy.

A practical, facilitated workplace method.

What your staff get

Notice Pressure patterns

Recognise and name what is showing up.

A shared starting point

Practical, guided support without forced disclosure.

Experience two tools

Try both Respond and Reset in the room.

Recognise a shift

Notice what feels different afterwards.

Two tools. One experience

In the Core Session, everyone experiences both.

The Programme then creates space to revisit, practise and discover what helps the most.

Meet Cori Cortisol

Your high-ticket consultant.

We've got Cori on retainer for the important challenges that require that extra push, and she is there when needed for a deadline or sales target.

But when we become over-reliant on her, she starts charging high-end overtime rates. Her invoices look for payment in the form of:

  • Low motivation

  • Exhaustion even after rest

  • Brain fog and forgetfulness

  • Poor sleep

  • Feeling constantly on alert

  • Irritability and shorter patience

You wouldn't pay a high-ticket consultant to do the day-to-day stuff

The MacLaughter Method helps teams notice when Cori is being called in more often than the job requires — and practise practical ways to change or interrupt the pattern.

Keep Cori for the work that needs her.

And for you.

Let Mrs MacLaughter share the load.

You have reached out because you want to offer meaningful support to your staff.

Mrs MacLaughter brings the structured team experience, participant check-ins and focused anonymous capture — helping you put practical support in place without having to create and deliver the whole response yourself.

Information to take forward
You receive an anonymised summary of engagement, key session data that you can lift into your own reflection, action planning and workplace stress-risk documentation.

Less for you to create and carry
The session structure, delivery and participant journey are already in place — so you can offer support without building the whole response from scratch.

Supports your wider approach
The MacLaughter Method aligns with the HSE Working Minds 5 Rs, helping you move from recognising pressure to responding, reflecting and building support into routine.

Focused anonymous capture
Short check-ins make shared Pressure Patterns, responses and visible shifts easier to recognise.

The MacLaughter Method supports your wider approach to managing work-related stress.

Responsibility for formal risk assessment, mitigation and ongoing review remains with your organisation.

Or if you prefer data.

'Really interesting session, about much more than laughter. Thank you."
